Frank West, the founder of City of Games and designer of Isle of Cats, joins to discuss cultivating enthusiastic, positive communities that buy games, have fun, and manages itself against negative elements. We get into a lot of facets of this one, particularly the idea of the Five, Five, and Ninety Percent. Five percent of communities are superfans, five percent are utter jerks, and ninety are people who want to hang out and have fun. How do we access and cultivate that ninety percent in positive ways? How can we tell when an angry person is among the Ninety and just upset, or if they are actually just a jerk not worth engaging? We get into that and a lot more in this one.

Phil Walker-Harding, designer of Sushi Go, Barenpark, Imhotep, Gizmos, and several other great games, takes us behind the scenes of his personal design process.
We talk about coming up with ideas, honing big ideas into super fun games, knowing when to walk away from a design, pitching to publishers, and more.
Nick is at the helm and definilty explained eveything that was going on in todays episode.

Much art is discussed this week, from French Romantics, to pirate stuff, to conspiracist vision boards, to whatever Walker is doing when he uses clothespins on felt. Mark wonders whether he can justify leaving in dead air and calling it "bold use of negative space," but the deeper worry is that too many people would prefer the silence.

Surprisingly the pair have similar backgrounds in playing board games as kids, and also being heavily involved in competitive gaming which set them on the path of the designing games.

In this spiritual episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Matt and Tom are talking about just one game - a game that has sat alone on Tom’s ‘To-Play’ shelf like a bottle of brown sauce in a wetherspoons sauce caddy. That’s right, it’s Bitoku, a game about splodging sauce all over a beautiful forest until various bears, otters and raccoons come to lick of all the liquid from the branches and leaves: yum yum yum.
We're on the way to Dice Tower West, so we're keeping this one easy breezy with just a hot question. How many games on your shelf do you think you could teach without looking at the rulebook? Before we turn up the heat, we talk about Yokohama, Final Girl, and Mystic Paths.
Danni Loe from Pandasaurus Games and James Hudson from Druid City Games rejoin the show to talk about the benefits and increasing drawbacks of producing games through Kickstarter. KS provides upfront cash and immediate feedback from fans, which is great. It also has huge issue with lack of moderation, the move to blockchain, and overall unresponsiveness to the very creators it says it wants to highlight. James and Danni break all of that down for you.

Carla Kopp, from Weird Giraffe Games, discusses how to multiply your time and get more done.
Carla runs multiple companies while also designing games and creating solo modes for other designers’ games, so she’s had to figure out how to create more hours in the day. We talk about time management, scheduling, and all sorts of other things.
Opener: 7 Wonders: Architects, France's Game of the Year winner (the As D'Or) Do you have a Top 100 list? How about just a Top Ten, and do you update it every year? I have a sort of list, but it's the same one I've had for over twenty years. In fact, I ran through it very quickly on the first episode of this podcast back in 2005! (No need to dig up that old fossil, but my show had to start somewhere. ) I've been thinking about a new top ten of more recent games, but I'm not ready with that. Perhaps that will be in a future show, because there ARE plenty of modern titles that I really enjoy. It would be fun to talk about them, in part to contrast them against the "hotness" on BGG and Kickstarter that I often can't connect with. Again...that's a future show. In THIS episode I thought my original top ten was worth discussing all over. In some cases they are games I love just as much as ever. Others are more sentimental favorites, not really making it to the table any longer. In a few cases I think the games represented of a type of game that I still enjoy, and there are newer examples. Closer: Fragility in boardgame mechanics -Mark
We're always on the lookout for new potential taglines here at SVWAG, as our earlier efforts "that one where the guy talks to that dude" and "we shout into a can so you don't have to" have been deemed insufficient. "We like it hard" was put forth by Walker, but the editorial staff are afraid it is apt to be misconstrued. "We weaponize children" was rejected for the opposite reason, namely that it might be correctly interpreted. Specificity tends to get us into trouble, which is why we have kept "a boardgaming podcast about boardgames" for as long as we have.
